Glu binding site
Dear Youngmin,

You created the page Glu binding site in Proteopedia. Pages in Proteopedia should only be created if they are going to address a particular topic. Since you're not creating a page on Glu binding site but rather doing your project for a class, please remove all your content from the page Glu binding site that you created and place it on your user page User:Youngsen_Jeng, I will then delete the page Glu binding site. Please do not put your project scenes on any pages other than the Sandboxes for practice editing or your User page.

You can respond to me if you wish by writing on my User talk page at User_talk:Eran_Hodis

Comments on your Outline
Comments User: Yongmin Assignment 11: IVB: Glu binding site: Map out the Glu binding site and explain how Glu binds, you will need to consider the inhibitor phosphothricin as a good analog of glutamate.[7] Indicate which amino acid residues are important in stabilizing Glu in the binding site. Indicate which residues are involved in chemistry.[2][8] 1.	The first two sentences are not relevant to the topic and ought to be removed. 2.	You ought to start with a topic sentence—Glutamate is the first substrate to bind glutamate synthetase….. and build from there. 3.	You need to consider why phosphothricin was used instead of glutamate. 4.	I guess you tried to do this, but what you have written is imcomprehensible. I am not sure you understand how the enzyme works. 5.	You also do not have any WIKI applets in the text to illustrate what you have written, but to your credit references are present. 6.	I think you have the residues involved in the chemistry. 7.   The group and me need to meet; I do not think you will get a reasonable grade otherwise. Overall: The group has not done a very good job with the outline. Grade: 7/9 Dr. Gluick

Final Comments
Hi gents:

The length and content of you page is fine. The language has improved and the text is readable. The WIKIs are too sparse. You needed to illustrate your points by showing where the residues reside in the protein; just showing the residues in white space is not an effective method to make your point. Grade: 7/10
